[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason PP wants kids retained if they're not working at grade level isn't for their benefit - it's for his/her kid. We don't want kids in the class who can't do the work - because that slows down the class and our kids aren't engaged and aren't learning to work hard.

We want tracking - but OP is asking what a school has to offer so that higher SES parents will enroll their children in schools with (economically and racially) integrated classrooms. I don't think there is anything that would do this.[/quote]

How does passing a child who is "not working at grade level" benefit the child? [/quote]

There is research that shows retaining a child reduces their likelihood of graduating when compared to children with similar academic profiles who were not retained.[/quote]

Would you rather have them graduate illiterate and unemployable? So many high SES families try to redshirt their kids, I don't see why a one year repeat wouldn't be good for kids who have slipped through the cracks.[/quote]
